[Closed] TT as low pair - did I play well?

Hi art3mus,

I think you can even fold the flop. The chance of still being ahead is very low. Therefore you need to draw. Let's take a look at your outs.
You hold a gutshot but as the flop is 2-suited and you hold only 1 card if you make the straigh (means that you are often splitting or even losing to a better straight) I would discount your outs to 3 for the gutshot.
You have 2 outs for a set but as a T would give any 9 a straight I would discount it to 0,5-1 outs.
Then you have a backdoorflushdraw but as there are 3 higher :spade:s I would give you any outs for it here.
So you have 3,5-4 discounted outs but you get only 9:1 potodds. With 4 outs you need 11:1 potodds so you can't call here.
To call you need to give yourself more than 2 SB implied odds but as the chance of splitting or losing the pot even if you improve is quite high I wouldn't count the in here.

As played I like a check behind on the turn more. He can easily check a Q or J here as he is scared by the A and which has you beat. A flushdraw will often bet again as the A can scare you off a better hand very well.
So take the freecard and fold the river unimproved.
Improved you either call a bet if you get the K :spade:, any 9 or T. You raise with any non K and you bet/call yourself if he checks to any K or 9.

Hi ciRith,

I really appreciate such detailed answer.

What about K♥? I understand that one of the reasons he bet flop can be flashdraw. Howewer the reason he called turn can be flushdraw. There is slightly more chances he has two cards than two cards because I have one card in my pocket.

3 of your opponents could have hold a flushdraw. As two folded they probably didn't have one. They probably folded 2 :heart:s as well as they haven't had a flushdraw with it at that time.
At the same time the one opponent who bet won't have 2 :heart:s very often if at all so the 3rd does look scary but it isn't.
Therefore the K is not much worse than the other non Ks.
